Modification and Innovation of Commode Chair Using a Polyester-based Composite for Elderly Patient

Bamboo stems, a source of fiber/bamboo salts, is a type of natural fiber with a lower density than other natural fibers. Apus bamboo is a type of bamboo having high mechanical strength. Their superior properties have attracted public interest to develop their potential to become advanced and functional materials. A combination of woven apus bamboo slats obtained from Kalisemo village, Purworejo Regency, Indonesia, and woven glass fiber are used as the reinforcing material and fabricated to be the hybrid composite material with a polyester binder mixed with 5% eggshell powder. The ratio of reinforcement and binder is 20: 80 (vol. %). This composite product is used for modification and innovation components in the commode chair product as a medical device for elderly patients. The flexural strength and water absorption tests are conducted on the composite material before use. The commercial commode chair made of wood is modified using the composite and made an innovation by adding right and left handrails to maintain the body balance of elderly patients. Keywords: (bamboo slat, commode chair, composite, glass fiber, polyester).

Joints with bamboo slats for shear wall frames

Bamboo is a rapid-growing plant that is a sustainable candidate to replace highly contaminating materials in housing projects. Bamboo slats are a promising alternative to using bamboo culms, as they have a higher bulk density, can be easily extracted from defective culms, and have a geometry that can be more easily controlled to standard dimensions. This study proposes joints for bamboo slats to be used in the frameworks of shear walls. To this end, three connections for Guadua bamboo slats were proposed and tested under monotonic loading to determine their moment-rotation behavior. A first joint to connect two slats was composed of two platens that compressed the slats along their wall thickness by tightening bolts. Monotonic tests of this joint showed its high ductility (range 9.5 – 38.8) and results dependent on bolt grade since the rotational stiffness and the ductility for grade-2 bolts were about 1.3 and 2.0 times significantly different than those for the specimens with grade-5. Two other proposed joints for multiple-slat members were composed of bamboo pins, platens, bolts, wood wedges, stainless steel sheets, and self-tapping screws. Significant differences were not found in the ductility and rotational stiffness of these two joints, which were in the range of 1.7–4.2, and 4954–8984 N-m/rad, respectively. However, the maximum moment (range 1172–1362 N-m) for the joint with a cedar wedge was around 1.5 times significantly higher than that (range 782–942 N-m) with a steel clamp. The multiple-slat joints displayed a relatively high ductility, while other mechanical parameters were similar to those reported in the literature for joints connecting members of substantially higher cross sections. The use of moment-resistant joints may improve the mechanical performance of shear-wall frameworks under seismic loading, enhancing the versatility of the system and providing alternatives to extend the application of bamboo for housing.

Experimental study of precast concrete walls using bamboo as alternative reinforcement

The public's demand for simple, livable houses means that material studies to support this continue to be carried out today, starting from using natural materials such as bamboo as precast concrete walls. This study aims to conduct an experimental study using bamboo rope from the Gigantochloa Apus variety as an alternative reinforcement for precast concrete walls. Research was carried out on 12 precast concrete wall test specimens, and the flexural properties, flexural strength, and crack patterns were formulated when subjected to a quasi-static load concentrated in the middle of the span. The concrete slab measures 600800 mm with a 50 and 75 mm thickness. The three configurations of bamboo bones used include (1) Gedhek-type woven bamboo slats, (2) bamboo slat type, and (3) Sasak-type woven bamboo slats. The research results show that Sasak-type woven bamboo slat reinforcement is the most effective alternative reinforcement. The behavior of the test specimen shows a ductile failure pattern similar to conventional reinforced concrete. The maximum moment capacity achieved is 1.5 to 2.2 times greater than the theoretical nominal moment capacity. Meanwhile, the behavior of test specimens with conventional plate-type woven bamboo slat reinforcement showed sudden and brittle failure due to slippage at the bond between the bamboo reinforcement and concrete. The average maximum moment from the test results is 60% of the theoretical nominal moment. The results of this research recommend that woven bamboo slats of the conventional plate reinforcement type are less effective as alternative reinforcement if they are not given special treatment to increase their adhesion to concrete. Gedhek-type woven bamboo slats are not effective as alternative reinforcement because they cause separation of the top and bottom parts of the woven concrete, thereby reducing the integrity of the cross-section and causing the cross-sectional capacity to be relatively small.

Analisa Tegangan Maksimal Cutter Planer pada Mesin Serut (Planer) Bambu Modular dengan Metode Elemen Hingga

<em></em>The<em> cutter planer is one of the main components of a bamboo planer which functions to flatten the surface of the bamboo blades. The cutter planer has a problem, namely the maximum stress is not known due to the complexity of the components which is difficult to analyze using the mechanical equation calculation method, so that to overcome this problem a numerical method is used, namely the finite element method. In this study, an analysis was carried out on a cutter planer by comparing the process of cutting bamboo slats with two directions of rotation clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW). The material used in the cutter planer is HSS and bamboo material with petung bamboo. The results of this study show that the highest maximum stress distribution for the cutter occurs in CCW and the lowest maximum stress distribution for the cutter occurs in CW.</em>

Gluing Characteristics of Giant Bamboo Using Four Commercial Adhesives

The study aimed to determine the bonding performance of laminated giant bamboo[Dendrocalamus asper (Schult.) Backer] glued with four commercial adhesives (PVAc-D3, PUR, UF, PF) at different surface pairings (pith-pith, pith-skin, and skin-skin) and glue spread rates(100, 150, and 200 g/m2). Kiln-dried giant bamboo poles were ripsawn, planed, and cut to length to produce slats for lamination. Slats for surface roughness and wettability tests were sanded with 180-grit sandpaper on both skin and pith surfaces. Surface roughness of the skin and pith was measured using Mitutoyo SJ–210 Surftest unit, whereas wettability was determined via the sessile drop method. Giant bamboo slats were bonded using specific lamination parameters for each adhesive. Tensile shear tests at dry and wet conditions were performed on the laminates to determine bond strength. The results showed that the bamboo pith had a rougher texture than the skin but with insignificant contact angle differences. Moreover, PVAc-D3 and PUR gave the highest and lowest initial contact angles on both sides, respectively, with PUR maintaining the smallest values throughout the contact duration. Adhesive, surface pairing, and some interactions (adhesive x glue spread and adhesive x surface pairing) significantly affected the dry shear strength, whereas adhesive and adhesive x surface pairing influenced wet shear strength. PUR-bonded laminates had the highest dry shear strength, followed by PF, PVAc-D3, and UF. In terms of wet shear strength, only PVAc-D3 did not conform to the minimum glue bond strength requirement of more than 1 MPa and cohesive bamboo failure of at least 40% (PNS 2099:2015). Skin-skin and pith-pith surface pairing yielded the highest and lowest dry shear strengths, respectively. Increasing the amount of glue did not translate to a stronger bond. PUR, UF, and PF are feasible alternatives to PVAc-D3 in engineered bamboo production for various end-uses.

Life Cycle Analysis of Carbon Footprint and Carbon Stored on Tali Bamboo (Gigantochloa Apus (J.A. & J.H. Schultes) Kurz) Products using Life Cycle Assessment Approach

Growth and Survival of Black-lip Pearl Oyster Pinctada margaritifera (Linnaeus, 1758) in Bamboo and Metal-framed Pocket Net Baskets Subjected to Cleaning and Without Cleaning Conditions

The farming of black-lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera (Linnaeus, 1758) has been a viable industry for small and large-scale farmers in the South Pacific, but not in the Philippines, where it is monopolized by large-scale farms primarily based on the gold-lip pearl oyster Pinctada maxima. To promote the industry among small-scale players, we simplified the culture method by using bamboo slats as frame materials and compared them to the common material used in pearl oyster culture, metal rods. A total of 400 individuals seven-month-old hatchery-produced P. margaritifera were used as experimental animals, distributed in the following treatments with five replications: T1 (metal-framed pocket net basket with monthly cleaning), T2 (metal-framed pocket net basket without monthly cleaning), T3 (bamboo-framed pocket net basket with monthly cleaning), and T4 (bamboo-framed pocket net basket without monthly cleaning). Growth was fast in the first four months and slowed down after that. Two-way analysis of variance found no significant differences between the average anteroposterior shell (APS) length increments of pearl oysters between two types of frame, and between two cleaning conditions. Survival rates did not significantly differ between types of basket frame, and between cleaning conditions. Parameters of the “Typical” von Bertalanffy growth model (L∞ = 118.41 mm, K = 1.03 year-1, and t0 = 0.12) suggested that oyster would take about 23.16 months to reach 100 mm APS length, a size suitable for nucleus implantation. The life span of bamboo slats as basket frame was half of the metal frame, and the absence of cleaning has reduced the operational cost by up to 82.08%.

Improved Design Fixed Stake Trap With PVC Poles and Suitable Mesh Size Net Enables Sustainable White-Spotted Spinefoot, Siganus canaliculatus (Park, 1797) Fisheries in Luwu District, South Sulawesi

The traditional fixed stake trap made typically of wooden poles and thinly interwoven bamboos walls have been used for generations as fishing gear in coastal regions of South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. In the 1980s, bamboo slats were replaced with nets of various mesh sizes as they became readily available, and currently, in the research area, no bamboo is used. Each unit of the wooden structure is made of around 300 poles that must be replaced three to four times annually and is becoming difficult due to the scarcity of wood and the high cost. Thus, this research aims to provide a feasible solution using PVC pipes and a suitable size mesh net for sustainable fisheries management of white-spotted spinefoot, Siganus canaliculatus (Park, 1797). The study was done in Karang-karangan village located on the coast of Luwu Regency where white-spotted spinefoot is the main fishing livelihood activity of fishers. The mesh size of the net used was 2.60 cm, and the results showed that the newly designed fixed stake trap unit made of PVC has been durable for the last 2.2 years and is expected to last at least 5 years. Compared to the traditional wood structure, there are no barnacles attached to the PVC pipes. The net size used allows smaller fish below 8.6 cm in length to escape, thus making white-spotted spinefoot fisheries sustainable. The estimated cost of using wood for 5 years is IDR60 million (USD4200), while PVC only requires around IDR15 million (USD1050).

Analysis of Bamboo Species Variation Effect Against Physical and Mechanical Properties of Laminate Bamboo Slat for Fishing Boat Construction Materials

Several studies on the mechanical properties of bamboo slats have been carried out using various types of bamboo species, including Dendro Calamus Asper sp, Gigantochloa Apus sp, Bambusa Arundinacea sp. Until now, variations and combinations of bamboo species have not been carried out, especially about physical and mechanical properties. This paper investigates the effect of variations in bamboo species on the physical and mechanical properties of laminated bamboo slats for ship construction. Each species of bamboo has advantages and disadvantages, which are expected with this combination will produce better physical and mechanical properties. The best value of shrinkage properties occurred in the variation of Bambusa Arundinacea sp with Gigantochloa Apus, namely 3.86 %. This variation also extends the highest mechanical properties: Tensile Strength: 151.9 Mpa; Flexure Strength MOR: 118.6 Mpa; MOE: 5.54 GPa. The Bambusa Arundinacea sp and Gigantochloa Apus hybrid perfectly meet the limit requirements according to the rules of BKI: 2013, Vol vii.

FIXATION PROCESS OF LAMINATED BAMBOO COMPRESSION FROM CURVED CROSS-SECTION SLATS

Removing the outer part of bamboo for manufacturing flat bamboo lamination has disadvantage on the density of the product. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the fixation of compressed bamboo from curved cross-section slats. The compression of bamboo slats using densification technique was aimed for uniform density. Furthermore, steam treatments were conducted to fix the deformation. The compressed bamboo slats revealed that the density of the samples at the bottom parts increased from 0.4–0.56 g/cm3 to 0.89–1.05 g/cm3 after pressing with a compression level between 46.98–63.97%, while the samples in the middle parts increased from 0.7–0.83 g/cm3 to 1.02–1.18 g/cm3 with the compression level of 32.92–41.5%. These results were slightly higher than that of the upper parts, which was between 0.91–0.98 g/cm3. The recovery of set decreased and the weight loss increased with increasing temperature and steam treatment time. Fixation of compressive deformation could be achieved at 160°C within 60 minutes. The bottom parts of samples experienced a slightly greater weight loss compared to the middle parts, i.e. 8.38% and 7.49%, respectively. The anatomical structure of bamboo tended to deform during densification process. Furthermore, the steam treatments affected the colour of densified bamboo which became darker. From this experiment, it can be concluded that the manufacture of laminated bamboo from bamboo slats can be uniformed in strength by equalizing the density at the bottom and middle with the upper parts through the densification technique.

Analysis of Salinity from Seawater on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Laminated Bamboo Fiber Composites with an Epoxy Resin Matrix for Ship Skin Materials

The use of bamboo fiber as a natural composite material has been widely studied. The results of previous research indicate that Apus bamboo fiber is highly recommended as an alternative material to replace wood as ship’s skin. This study examines the effect of seawater salinity on changes in the physical and mechanical properties of laminated bamboo composites, considering that ships are generally operated at sea. Apus bamboo fibers (Gigantochloa Apus) used in this study came from the Getasan Salatiga area, Central Java. The variables studied in this study have been variations in the number of layers totaling 3, 5, and 7 layers and blade thickness of 1 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2 mm, with the direction of the fibers crossing each other at an angle of 0o/90o, and the average width of the bamboo slats has been 20 mm. Apus bamboo fibers are formed into boards reinforced with an epoxy resin with the hand lay-up lamination technique and are given a compressing pressure of 2 MPa, so that a board with a thickness of 6.5 mm with a fiber weight fraction 0.65%–0.75% is formed. The boards have been immersed in the sea for a period of 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks. In order to determine the effect of seawater salinity on the physical and the mechanical properties of laminated bamboo, the specimen has been characterized by mechanical tests that include moisture content, specific gravity, shrinkage, tensile test, bending test, and impact test. The test results indicate that as the duration of immersion in seawater increases, there will be a decrease in tensile stress by 1.46%-2.61%, in the modulus of tensile elasticity by 1.14%-3.67%, in bending stress by 1.02%–2.28%, in the modulus of bending elasticity by 1.36%-3.45%, and in impact strength by 7.63%-11.51%. The test results on the physical properties of the test object have occurred based on an increase in water content, specific gravity, and changes in thickness dimensions on the test object.

The comparison of device materials of sliding sudare using a prototyping method

Sliding Sudare has a big potential to be developed considered its high effectiveness in minimizing building energy consumption while still maintaining its visibility quality. Meanwhile, its original blinds that is made of bamboo cannot withstand extreme weather and have a short lifespan. Therefore, this research is to investigate the effectiveness of the other material alternatives namely stainless steel, plastic, and natural fiber. A scaled model is used for prototyping the materials in the shape of bicycle spokes, PLA+ (3D printer filament), and bamboo slats as the blinds. These everyday objects were tested in terms of their physical characteristic and were measured by four parameters (security requirement, weather resistance, construction process, and cost-effectiveness). From the research, it was concluded that bicycle spokes has the highest overall performance with the highest advantages in weather resistance requirement, cost-effectiveness, and construction; whilst PLA+ and bamboo slats have the least overall performance though both have high advantage in terms of security requirement.

Adherencia en el concreto reforzado con bambú

The world, research on the use of bamboo as a concrete reinforcement has achieved an improvement in reducing water absorption. However, no better adherence has been achieved between these elements. Therefore, the objective of this research was to propose other alternative treatments to the bamboo surface to improve adhesion efforts with concrete. Initially, physical and mechanical tests were carried out to determine the characteristics of the bamboo used. Subsequently, adherence tests were continued, for which specimens were made (4 “x8” concrete specimens embedded in their interior and at different depths bamboo slats waterproofed with RC-250 liquid asphalt). The slats were smooth and ribbed with a medium sand attachment. Then the bond strength values were determined. Finally, bamboo-reinforced beams were made which were subjected to bending tests. The results showed a better performance of the ribbed and waterproofed slats with asphalt and medium sand additive. A bond strength of 6,7 kg / cm2 was achieved on the bamboo reinforced beams. This presents an increase of the order of 2,5 times the tensile strength compared to a beam without reinforcement.
